Dónall Dempsey - THIS KISS

This kiss
dissolves Time.
This kiss
exists

only in & because of
itself.
This kiss!
This kiss!

Reveals us
to ourselves.
This kiss
is the language

we speak
speaking
in tongues

a second or an ice age
could have come & gone
for all we have
known.

This... kiss
makes us timeless.
Somewhere
a glacier

moves an erratic
enormous boulder
gently
(almost lovingly)

another half an inch

placing it carefully
in the Future
thousands and thousand

of years
from here.
